Based on information derived from research resumes ofthe Cooperative State Research Service of the U.S... Department ofAgriculture (USDA), this revised inventory (current as of January1977) of rural development research at land grant institutions in theSouthern States is part of the Southern Rural Development Center'seffort to establish a base of knowledge on rural development and topoint to gaps in knowledge where research is needed. Researchpresented in this inventory is limited to the following major USDA"rural development" classifications: (1) Community Facilities; (2),

People Building; (3) Econcmic Development; and (0 EnvironmentalImprovement. Minor subareas of each major area are identified via amatrix of research areas. This inventory presents over 200 activeresearch projects and 167 terminated projects. Each entry containsthe following information: a major and minor area classification; amatrix number; a project title; an abstract; a project number; theresearcher's name; the performing organization's name and address;the performance period (dates) ; and the key words.

received. The relationship of these

factors to race, sex, education, family

size and family income will be studied.

The study will also assess family par-,

can be systematically tested and explored

in terms of the growth of rural poor

people toward identifying and seeking out

solutions to their problems: (1) to as-

sume responsibility .for their own welfare,

and (2) to give direction to agencies

designated to provide assistance to them

once they have defined their own goals

and attendant problems.

MATRIX ABSTRACT


3.05.2 CONCEPTUALIZING LAND USE PLANNING AND

MANAGEMENT. Identify the problems of

land use and management which are moti-

vating public officials in cities, coun-

ties, Councils. of Governments, and the

state government to plan for develop-

ment, use and management of land and

related resources. Analyze land use

planning and management processes used

elsewhere and new approaches which seem

promising for Texas. Determine kinds

and availability of socioeconomic land

use data required for planning and man-

agement purposes at local, regional, and

state levels. (TX-06058)

3.05.3 MEASUREMENT OF ATTITUDES OF PEOPLE TOWARD

LAND USE PLANNING. Discover what the

attitudes of people are toward land use

planning in a given county, or counties.

Analyze the variation of attitudes, if any

related to the different characteristics

of the people, such as age, sex, occupa-

tion, income, education, etc. Relate the

attitude patterns with the problems and

experiences to the people. (AR-00808)
